Abstract
The aim was to map and characterize the scientific evidence from 2020 to the time of the search regarding recommendations and guidelines related to aortic aneurysm in elderly people in a hospital setting. This is a structured scoping review protocol following the methodological guidelines of the Joanna Briggs Institute and reported according to PRISMA-ScR. The review question was developed based on the PCC strategy, considering elderly people, care practices, and management of aortic aneurysm in a hospital setting. Searches will be conducted in the MEDLINE/PubMed and Embase databases and in the grey literature of the Virtual Health Library, with study selection by independent reviewers and data extraction using a structured form. It is expected that the results will allow for mapping and systematizing the main evidence on recommendations and care practices directed at elderly people with aortic aneurysm in a hospital setting, contributing to the improvement of care and the identification of gaps in the literature.
